Hello,
I (and other teachers) have noticed an issue in Buzz. Some of the rich-text formatting options are gone from Buzz in the Assessment and Homework questions.
For example, if I want to make an assessment and put a hyperlink into the text of a question, there is no way to easily do that. The little link icon is completely missing. These are the only options we have now: Bold, Italics, Underline, Picture, Functions.
We cannot change fonts, colors, or sizes, nor insert any kind of link or media. We have to go back to the old Brain Honey to do it.
Does anyone know what happened? Is there any way to bring these features back?
We are using the https: version of Buzz.

This change was made when the framework for the Buzz editor was updated to the new version. The current media button allows for flv video files as well as mp3 audio files in addition to other image formats. It is possible to add links or change the font style using the "text" editor option for questions and using HTML to modify. If having an easier option to modify the text style or adding links please contact your account manager for further discussion.
A quick follow-up. So is it possible to include html tags when using the "text" editor. For example I would like to include some source code examples in a computer programming class, can I use the <code></code> tags?
Documentation on how to use the text editor can be found here: Advanced Assessment Editor
The specific information for this question is:
HTML
You can specify advanced formatting by enclosing an entire question text with the tags [HTML][/HTML]. Between the tags, you can use standard HTML formatting tags. Note that you must enclose the entire question text, not just part of it.
